Following the release of his debut EP ‘Believe in Things’, Mancunian Pianist & Producer Matt Wilde returns with a homage to the late J Dilla, titled ‘Dilla Impresses Me’, which showcases Matt’s distinct approach to jazz and hip-hop fusion.

Paying homage to Dilla’s unique off the grid groove which Matt discovered as a teenager after “listening to Dilla on repeat”. This was a catalyst for Matt’s obsession with jazz as he heard new perspectives, layers and textures in Dilla’s music which developed like characters in a story. This cyclical effect is revealed in Matt’s new track through the straightforward piano, hazy trombone, grounded bass, and pocketed drums which highlight a warmth characteristic of Matt’s sound. The use of tape emulation and the distant yet codifying analogue palette of synths create an atmosphere that shines a light on the imaginative piano melodies and harmony.

“One day when I was a teenager, I was recommended some of J Dilla's music on YouTube. I listened to his beat 'Ahmad Impresses Me' on repeat. Every time the loop went round I heard something new and I had a deep connection to the music. Then I found out about the record he sampled to make that track, which was a record by Ahmad Jamal called 'The Awakening'. I spent that evening listening to the whole album and the next day I started learning jazz piano seriously, and I've never looked back.”

Matt Wilde is a Mancunian keyboardist and producer, whose music blends jazz-inspired keys, rich harmonies and pocketed drums. Taking inspiration from jazz greats such as Bill Evans and Herbie Hancock, Matt has performed and produced for a range of artists such as PROSE (Virgin Records) and Secret Night Gang (Brownswood), with performances at major venues and festivals including Parklife, Leeds & Reading and the Great Escape.
